Budding ideas I'm Vermont.

ErOln the Boston Transcript.
The Listener hears from Vermont that the
temperance instruction in the schools is making
rather poor Roadway there. The rustic young
idea does not readily Seize upon the physiological
facts and assumptions which it is occasionally re-
quired to master In advance Of its capacity to
comprehend them The Rural Termonter, OF
Montpelier, has some answers to questions from
examination papers In this branch.
In reply TO the question, "What Is the brain?"
one Vermont youngster procured this answer:
"The Is all the time Sinang inches on the neverS
ana is the OF you body thinks"
VINO could possibly interpret this? The teacher
was nonplussed at first, but managed at length to
get very coherent reply out OF IT, thus-.Il is all
the time sending messages over the nerves and is
the part OF your body that thinks
Another answer to the same question was this:
''The brain is bony cage (case). II has the most
work TO do OF anything. The nerves are small
white cords which run ali over you il you had no
nerves you could not have the toothache or burn
you but you could not feel your mothers warm
hand"
The gem Of the collection, however is an evil
dence OF the effect produced On the mind OF the
rising vermont generation by the questions re-
garding the distlllatiOn of alcohOt. This process
seemed 10 be very easily grasped by the children
On the Whole, and this answer Is given as an ex-
ample OF the average work OF a large class:
alcohol Is made by distillat1on. The following
Is an experiment: Fill a teapot with a fermented
liquid and place In its spout piece Of rubber tub
ing about feet long, and put the other end Of the
rubber In the neck OF a bottle which stands on ice
or in water. Place lamp under the teapot and
light II. Before the LIQUID comes to boil nearly
all the alcohol in IL will have passed as vapor into
the tubing and dropped as water into the bottle,
because OF the GOODNESS OF the Ice or water On
much larger scale regular distilleries are carried
On"
At this point OF the lesson a bright little girl
got up and asked plaintively, "Why don't we all
make our own alcOhOl!" 1t was evident that the
precise object OF ali this instruction about intox.
cants was quite lost upon this pupil. The young
Fermonters are OF course, at home on the subject
OF cider, and one OF them compressed great deal
OF information, including some that was possibly
likely TO get his parent or guardian into trouble
into this answer: "Ctder Is made out OF apples and
Stod until 1t sOurs, then they sell it."

Plain Speaking.

From the Youths Companion.
Prince Orion was the most trusted adviser of
the car, Methodist He owed his accession to
favor to blow OF his fist. While he was aid-de-
camp, one OF the regiments had mut1nied and the
car, feeling that a look would reduce the men to
obedience, stepped In front OF them, accompanied
only by Orion, and asked: "Have you any COM
plant, my children Whoever has anything to
say to me, step forward"
To his great surprise several soldiers did adj
vance, and one OF them leveled his weapon at the
emperor: Orion instantly stepped forward and
struck the man dead with blow of his fist.
The emperor was grateful and Orion rose, step

trembled.
Yet the emperor occasionally treated him like

in regard to military affairs had become public

Orion, and received him in the utmost ill-temper.

From the New York Commercial.

From the New York Commercial
An interesting bit Of news is published to the
effect that the Fifth Avenue Stage Company is
having built number OF omnibuses on London
models with accommodation for eighteen passen-
gers on the roof. II this be true New Workers are
to be congratulated for the best seat in a bus is
outside and on top, and it is strange that Ameri-
cans have BEEN so slow In scatch1ng on to such
an obvious improvement as is now contemplated
The two great obstacles, OF course to the intro
ducttOn OF outside seats are our rough pavementS
and extreme climate. 1t is difflcult for a team OF
horses to drag stage holding even one layer OF
humanity over our roadwayS. And an outside
passenger, in either our typical summer or winter
weather, would be anything but pleasurable or
safe. For these reasons, we have not doubled up"
In our street conveyances But as the new pave
ment In Fifth avenue Is comparatively smooth,
ana as the patrons OF the line show a desire to
brave the climate. the company does well to adopt
the system Of outside seats.
II this experiment succeeds 1t is likely that HUI
manity Will be packed two layers deep on many
OF our local lines OF transit. The street railways
abroad always, utilize the roofs Of the cars and
there is no good reason why the same system
should not be followed here In Paris even the
suburban steam railroads run double.decked cars
Possibly like device might relieve the pressure
on the facilities OF the elevated system. Such
development would have a scientific value in ex-
tending our knowledge OF mankind. We are al
ready pretty familiar with Second-story life and
by seats on the roof OF the elevated we could eX-
tend our observations to life on the third floor.
